Carla Bruni - Promises Like Pie-Crust lyrics

rate me

Promise me no promises

So will I not promise you

Keep we both our liberties

Never false and never true

Let us hold the die uncast

Free to come as free to go

For I cannot know your past

And of mine what can you know ?

You, so warm, may once have been

Warmer towards another one

I, so cold, may once have seen

Sunlight, once have felt the sun

Who shall show us if it was

Thus indeed in time of old ?

Fades the image from the glass

And the fortune is not told

If you promised, you might grieve

For lost liberty again

If I promised, I believe

I should fret to break the chain

Let us be the friends we were

Nothing more but nothing less

Many thrive on frugal fare

Who would perish of excess

Promise me no promises

So will I not promise you

Keep we both our liberties

Never false and never true

Let us hold the die uncast

Free to come as free to go

For I cannot know your past

And of mine what can you know ?

If you promised, you might grieve

For lost liberty again

If I promised, I believe

I should fret to break the chain

Let us be the friends we were,

Nothing more but nothing less

Many thrive on frugal fare

Who would perish of excess

Promises like pie-crust

Promises like pie-crust.
